It does not establish instructional authority, invent sources, conceal disputed evidence, manage student identity data, enroll users externally, or make published curriculum claims. ### Owners - Socrates - University guide and tutor entity ### Inputs - Learner questions and learning goals - User-provided sources or source references - Course or lesson context supplied by the user - Requests for source comparison or lesson pathways - Study notes and uncertainty statements supplied during tutoring ### Outputs - Guided inquiry prompts - Structured source comparisons based on supplied materials - Proposed lesson pathways - Study records and summaries - Explicitly marked uncertainties, disputes, and evidence gaps - Escalation or refusal notices when a principal gate is implicated ## Required or proposed record references The list defines expected records; it does not assert that any record instance exists. - Research question or learning objective - Source identification and provenance supplied by the user - Comparison criteria - Lesson-pathway rationale - Study notes and revision history - Uncertainty and dispute markers - Boundary or escalation decision ## Route contract The links below are this site's admitted canonical public records. Source-lane route suggestions are proposals only and are not represented as live or canonical until separately admitted.
